On Windows, assuming you have the dbase DLL matching your PHP version in the extensions directory, that's almost all there is to enabling dbase, I presume -- that's how all the other extensions work... You also have to re-start Apache, or IIS, or the whole machine, depending on what you are running and how MS feels that day. > Are there any working examples available that read and import dbf > files? Can you export dbf to something like CSV or tab-delimited? There are usually stock tools for that, which are efficient and well-tested. Importing a CSV or tab-delimited is also stock/easy/efficient/robust. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
